    • Clubs 19th homer
      Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.

      Advice: He got the Mets on the board in the fourth inning by crushing a German Marquez two-seamer deep to left field. Alonso snapped an 11-game homer drought with the blast, and he heads into the All-Star break -- and an appearance in the Home Run Derby -- slashing .240/.319/.454 with 19 homers and 51 RBI in 95 contests.

    • Escapes with save
      Fairbanks allowed two hits in a scoreless inning and earned a save against the Guardians on Sunday.

      Advice: Fairbanks was tasked with protecting a 2-0 lead and found himself in danger after coughing up singles to the first two batters he faced. He managed to retire the next three to escape unscathed. Fairbanks has converted 17 of 19 save chances this season while producing a 3.21 ERA and a 32:15 K:BB. Since the start of June, he owns a 2.55 ERA with 12 saves in 17 appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:29 pm
       
    • Hurting but won't miss start
      Suarez won't be available for Tuesday's All-Star Game while he recovers from back tightness, but the Phillies expect him to be available to make his first start of the second half July 22 or 23 in Minnesota, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

      Advice: Suarez hasn't been forced to miss any time due to the back issue and likely would have been available to start during the upcoming week if the Phillies needed him, but he'll instead use the All-Star break to heal up while he's less than 100 percent healthy. Though he's in the midst of a career-best season and was looking forward to pitching in his first Midsummer Classic, Suarez clearly hasn't been at his best of late, as he has struggled to an 8.62 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB in 15.2 innings over his last three starts, two of which have come against sub-.500 clubs in the Marlins and Athletics. Suarez won't travel to Arlington, Texas, for the All-Star Game and will instead remain in Philadelphia to continue throwing. Zack Wheeler is also tending to a back issue and will skip the All-Star Game, but both he and Suarez are expected to take the hill in some order when the Phillies next require fourth and fifth starters July 22 and 23.

    • Reaches 30-steal mark
      Turang went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Turang has struggled at the plate in July, going 9-for-48 (.188) over his first 13 games this month. That's also put a damper on his best attribute, his speed, as he's been able to log just two steals on three attempts in that span. Turang has 30 thefts on 35 attempts this year -- good for second in the majors behind only the Reds' Elly De La Cruz -- while adding six home runs, 38 RBI, 45 runs scored and a .277/.341/.390 slash line through 93 contests.

    • Goes deep again Sunday
      Burleson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Burleson heads into the All-Star break on a tear with four homers and 11 RBI across his last seven games. The outfielder is up to a .288/.320/.494 slash line, 17 long balls, 53 RBI, 41 runs scored, 14 doubles and seven stolen bases across 89 contests. Burleson still doesn't have one set position, but he's able to maintain a near-everyday role between the corner outfield spots, first base and designated hitter. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:08 pm

    • Burleson homers again in loss
      Alec Burleson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

      Advice: Burleson took Jameson Taillon deep in the sixth inning for his 17th home run of the season to go along with 53 RBI and a .288/.320/.494 triple slash. He was an afterthought in the Cardinals’ outfield heading into the season but has proven to be a more than capable MLB starter. The Cardinals should keep his bat in the lineup even if they get fully healthy in the second half of the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:03 pm

    • Fairbanks escapes with 17th save of the season
      Pete Fairbanks escaped a jam in the ninth inning to secure his 17th save in a 2-0 win over the Guardians.

      Advice: Called on to protect a 2-0 lead, Fairbanks allowed back-to-back singles to start the inning before getting Jose Ramirez to pop out to first, Josh Naylor to line out to center, and David Fry to fly out to left. Both Naylor and Fry made solid contact, but came up empty, and Fairbanks now has 17 saves to go along with a 3.21 ERA heading into the All-Star break. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:06 pm
       
    • Officially lands on IL
      The Twins placed Miranda on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a low back strain.

      Advice: Miranda hadn't played since Wednesday due to the injury and will hit the shelf in advance of the Twins' final game before the All-Star break Sunday in San Francisco. Because the transaction is retroactive to Thursday, Miranda will be eligible to come off the IL as soon as next Sunday, when the Twins will play their second game coming out of the break. Until Miranda is back in the mix, the Twins should have a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching available for Matt Wallner. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:30 am

    • Twins place Jose Miranda (back) on 10-day IL
      Twins placed INF Jose Miranda on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 12, with a lower back strain.

      Advice: An expected move, as the Twins have multiple members of their lineup dealing with bumps and bruises. The team is hopeful that Miranda won’t be sidelined for long. Diego A. Castillo will take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:52 am
